Big Booty Benz / '86 420 SE

[Laef]

Appreciate it!

That's it! thx to remind me the black grill i forgot to put it on the todo list haha

[P78]

or buy an avantgarde grill, will be better then black imo

[Laef]

Well yeah in a sense it's the best looking aftermarket grill for w126 but i prefer the original look tho...

Btw any tips for cutting springs anyone?

[Laef]

K.
My spring compressor should be here tomorrow (i hope)

Since last time :

Painted black and polished the front grill. Now i'm happy with it

"Noseless"




Got some great stuffs







Oh yeah, got my hands on dirt cheap Borbet type A
8.5x17 and 10x17




Did a couple of gas station shots and realized i've seen this place too many times this past week haha









Yes, again.




Then I go to the same spot I shot the e34 last year



Took my first pic with this thing











Aaaand here's a render of what should happen in a couple of dayzz

[Laef]

Well, lowered the front yesterday.

Just had the time to cut 1 coil off the springs, and i'll cut some more when the rear's done.

Here's a pic if anyone still care about this thread.
Thx

This Benz appears so neat. 10J looks pretty cute on this flagship, however I'm curious about the progress!

[Mehowski]

just bite the bullet and get a set of banging coils for it mate

Thanks man! Yeah, thankfully i didn't bought a squared 8.5J set haha

Thinking about running spacers and roll the fender when rear's done?

Well I'll just keep cutting till the height suits me! (because it's free haha )

[Laef]

sup guys?

Lowered the rear last week and imma cut some more on the front this weekend...

Pics sooon kthxbye

[cressidodd]

Pfft cutting springs is cheap, and effective. Been riding cut springs with some shorter shocks in my cressida for years. rides like butter.

hurry up with the pics!

[Laef]

Here are the pics haha!

So I just had the time to stop on a parking lot with a friend to snap some pics before the sunset !

This is the "final" height for now, i like the rear.
The front still needs more low but i need thinner tires to go lower, the fenders already rubs haha

And it needs some spacers in the back since i got the rear tires down to 225 (instead of 235)

Well it'll do for the winter i guess





































camber action haha







Cheers boyz and girlz

[Mehowski]

The height actually looks real good.
My friends are tempting me to cut my colis, but I'm gonna wait and save up for some coils

[Laserlite]

Looking good!

How many coils did you cut in the rear?

[loekaaz]

Wow. For a second I just thought that I was looking at an old thread of one legendary W126 You've probably already seen the thread here

[Dr.AK]

I love this thread. Makes me watn a W126 of my own.
